Carrie Underwood is in the midst of her Reflection Tour in Las Vegas, but she took some time out over the weekend, choosing to spend her day off hiking with her family.
The country superstar shares two children, Isaiah, eight and Jacob, four, with her hockey-pro husband Mike Fisher and posted a rare photo of the three of them enjoying their time in nature.
Carrie rarely shares photos of her sons, so fans were likely delighted at the glimpse into their family life, which the singer simply captioned: “My whole world.”

That said, Carrie and Mike are used to being in a long-distance relationship. The pair were introduced to Carrie’s mutual friend, bassist Mark Childers, and while Carrie and Mike – who is from Canada – hit it off right away, their relationship wasn’t without its challenges, especially since they were in different countries.

When did Carrie and Mike get married?
Carrie and Mike got engaged a year into dating, with the ice hockey player popping the question to Carrie in December 2009.
In 2010, Carrie and Mike got married on 10 July and exchanged vows at the Ritz-Carlton Reynolds Plantation, a former hunting plantation turned five-star resort in Georgia boasting three pools, five championship golf courses, a rustic barn and views over Lake Oconee – offering the perfect backdrop for a wedding.

Proving the strength of their relationship, the couple spent the first few months of married life apart from each other at weeks at a time due to their respective careers.
In the end, Mike made the decision to move from the Ottawa Senators to the Nashville Predators, so that he could be in the same city as his wife. He played for the team for several years before retiring in 2018.
